Dr. Andreas Buchheit on Simulation of Unconventional Superconductors

Researcher Dr. Andreas Buchheit and interviewer Dr. Georg Hager sitting on a couch talking.

In our latest video, we sit down with Dr. Andreas Buchheit from Saarland University, who shares his fascinating journey into the world of unconventional superconducting materials. Using the power of NHR@FAU resources, Dr. Buchheit and his team achieved noteworthy research success.

The topic of superconductors is enthusiastically researched and very rich in potential. In the interview with the NHR@FAU, Dr. Buchheit explains this exotic material of superconductors and their possible use for several various fields, such as medicine, quantum computing or energy transportation.

The talk also focuses on the role of supercomputing and the NHR@FAU in driving scientific discovery: The collaboration with the performance experts at NHR@FAU could optimize his code and accelerated it by a factor of more than 100, enabling faster research results for Buchheit and his team. Together they laid the foundation for the search for new materials with groundbreaking application possibilities.

The interview with Dr. Buchheit is the first contribution to our NHR@FAU Success Stories. In this brand new video series, we’ll showcase scientific discovery powerd by the NHR@FAU. So you can look forward to more interesting science talks on our YouTube channel in the future.
